For Norm Cromie-Hosetops
Norm,I had the same sensation when I got my first kit.Nobody explained that 1)Wear sweat absorbing socks, 2)put on hosetops 3)put the flashes on the hosetops, 4)put on your brogues, 5)put on & button up your spats!!Hell,I've seen rookies on parade wearing the hosetops.no socks with their brogues.Some have even worn their lovat hose under the hosetops & some have worn their lovat hose under their spats.You also have your horse hair sporran & leather sporran.I can't count how many times members of the pipe bands I've been in,have worn one or the other when they would show up on parade.The Pipe Major finally had one whole evening on proper dress for the rookies.Those were the days.By the way.they're punishment was to buy the beer after parades.Boy!they learned quickly & we profited by our thirst
